An experience mechanic required. Before installing the kit, we recommend replacing water pump and timing belt. Swap Shop Racing is a dealer for Gates products.

1. Disconnect the battery, drain and remove the cooling system. Remove motor and trans along with the axles and stock exhaust.

2. Take your H or F-Series block and place the provided template on the rear of the oil pan. Do not remove oil pan from block. Mark the appropriate area. Start to grind a 45 degree angle into the block. Caution: Do not remove too much material.

3. Remove the B-Series stock half shaft from the pillow block by pressing it out. Take the Evolution pillow block and press in the B-Series half shaft and install it on the motor using the bolts from the kit and torque it to 32 ft-lbs. Then check for the axle hub and boot clearance. NOTE: unbolt pillow block before adapting transmission.

11. Remove your stock flywheel and replace it with the Evolution H2B flywheel. Install the locking plate, torque to 76 ft-lbs., and then bend the ears down on the locking plate.

12. Using a clutch alignment tool, install the pressure plate and hat and torque to 19 ft-lbs.

13. Attach the transmission to the motor using the provided bolts and torque to 33 ft-lbs. Reinstall the starter and pillow block with half shaft to the motor and torque to 32 ft/lbs.

14.With the motor and transmission assembled, hoist it into the engine bay. (We found it to be easier to lower the transmission side first, support it with a floor jack and then lower the rest of the motor into place.) With the jack and hoist still in place, attach the rear engine support and finger tighten only.

20. If not already done, remove the stock D-series shift linkage and replace it with the new B-series linkage. Connect the new linkage to the transmission.

21. Install heater hoses along with the radiator and radiator hoses. Fill and bleed the cooling system.

22. The stock fuel line will not fit so one must be custom made or bought. You can make one out of the stock fittings and a longer section of fuel line or go to your local hose and fitting store and have one made there.

23. The stock throttle cable will work with B16A throttle cable bracket. Bolt the bracket on as shown in the picture.

25. Install D-Series alternator bracket to the custom billet bracket then bolt on the Alternator. Note: We used a Gates belt part #KO40310RB (you can buy the belt thru Evolution Industries Inc.). If alternator adjuster arm does not clear radius rod, shave down for clearance.
